I'm Back!

Hey kids! Have you missed me? Did you even realize that I was gone? If you did, I'm sorry I wasn't  around much the past week. My week in Dallas was pretty hectic, but I had a lot of fun. I got to meet one of my friend's new baby! And I had two bridal showers: one thrown by my boss and one by B's mom. I definitely felt loved!

But, needless to say, I am so happy to be back in Charlotte. I felt like I was gone for a lot longer than a week. B had a crazy week too, so we made sure this weekend was pretty low key, mainly just catching up on some chores, wedding stuff, and relaxing.

1. My flight on Friday was out of the brand new Terminal A at DFW...and let me tell you, it was nice!! It even had a Salt Lick, which is an amazing bbq restaurant based out of Austin! Of course I had to stop and grab lunch there. Diet be damned!

2. It felt really good to be back home in Charlotte and to see B. We were both so exhausted from the week we pretty much crashed as soon as we got back to the apartment.

3. There were, however, a stack of RSVPs and some wedding gifts waiting for me! Pretty exciting!!

4. Saturday, B and I escaped the torrential downpours and saw Despicable Me 3-D. It was cute, but I liked the first one more. So far this summer, the comedies we've seen rank as follows: 1)This is The End, 2)Despicable Me, 3)The Heat.

5. The movie theater was right next to a Nordstrom Rack (how convenient), so I popped in just to check out the goods. And I am so glad I did!! I found a Kate Spade purse I wanted to get myself last Christmas for over 50% off!! It was the only one left so I snatched it up and never let it go!

6. B and I made a stop at Costco to pick up some dinner: salad, chicken, and wine.

7. Sunday morning I went running for the first time in months!! It has either been to hot or too wet to go running this summer, but I really wanted to get outside. I pushed myself to do 4 miles, which isn't bad considering I haven't run since May.

8. I wore my new favorite dress and my new sandals (also a Nordstrom Rack purchase) to church.

9. B and I stopped at one of our favorite stores after lunch where B found a bear foot rest he apparently cannot live without. Never mind that it will definitely not go with anything in our apartment.

How was your weekend?? Did you see any fun movies?

To make up for my absence last week I have a lot of fun posts this week: a cookie recipe, and outfit, and a peek at our invitations! Be sure to check back!
